recsync's integration tests pull ghcr.io/channelfinder/reccaster:master, which is republished on every push to the default branch. Republishing that tag on 2026-08-03 carried the /recsync to /reccaster path rename from 7d12820, which stopped recsync's integration IOC from initialising. Nothing on their side had changed.

Discussion on #21 settled that the container image is not part of the versioned surface, and that it does not belong in an EPICS module repository. Moving the build to recceiver or recsync would recreate the coupling recsync#158 is trying to end, so this removes Dockerfile, .dockerignore, and .github/workflows/docker.yml instead. Sites building the module from source are unaffected; downstream consumers of the image will need to decouple on their side.

5ff76af adopted Semantic Versioning by linking the spec, but never said what the public interface is, which clause 1 asks for. This records the module boundary in CHANGELOG.md: the databases in db/, reccaster.dbd, the iocsh functions the module registers, the library soname, and any headers it installs. The wire protocol is left out: it is shared with other implementations, and this repository cannot version it alone.

This also cuts the accumulated [Unreleased] entries as 1.9.7 and adds the compare links. Nothing in the versioned surface changed this cycle, so the release is a patch rather than a minor or major bump.

recsync#173 asked for a versioned image to pin; once this lands that path is gone and the remaining work is decoupling on the recsync side (recsync#158).

recsync's integration tests pull ghcr.io/channelfinder/reccaster:master, which
is republished on every push to the default branch. Republishing that tag on
2026-08-03 carried the /recsync to /reccaster path rename from 7d12820 and
stopped recsync's integration IOC from initialising. Nothing on their side had
changed.

Discussion on #21 agreed the image does not belong in an EPICS module
repository, and that moving the build to recceiver or recsync would recreate
the coupling recsync#158 is trying to end.
`5ff76af` adopted Semantic Versioning by linking the spec, but never said
what the public interface is, which clause 1 asks for. Without that, it was
unclear whether the container image counted, and the path rename inside it
did not look like a breaking change to anyone consuming the image.

#21 settled that the image is outside the surface. Record the module boundary
here so later releases have a rule to apply.
Nothing has been tagged since the split, so the [Unreleased] section has been
accumulating without a release to attach it to.

Nothing in the versioned surface changed this cycle: no change to `db/` or
`reccaster.dbd`, no iocsh function, no soname bump. Cut it as 1.9.7.
